The Tea Partier also praised Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for encouraging a government shutdown, which she claimed was the only credible plan of action to defund socialized healthcare.

"There was no other credible alternative plan to seize the constitutionally appropriate opportunity,” Palin wrote, “to legislatively close the purse strings to stop the juggernaut of full socialized medicine.”

Palin’s opinion, however, has grown more unpopular as the country recovers from the government shutdown. Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John McCain have both chastised Sen. Ted Cruz for encouraging the shutdown, arguing that it wasn’t worth pushing against Obamacare.
